Question

The weight of a body is less at the moon than its weight on the earth .why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Our weight on moon is less than it would be on Earth due to a difference of the strength of gravity on the moon. The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. ... This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same!

Explanation:

For example on earth a 70kg person would weigh 686N (70kg x 9.8 ) whereas on the moon, where the gravitational acceleration is about 1.62 , that same 70kg person would weigh 113N. This means on a pair of scales calibrated for earth they would measure 11.5kg. G-force is another name for the acceleration due to gravity.
